In the aim of preventing and controlling major accident hazards involving dangerous substances, many risk assessment methodologies have been developed worldwide. Until now, in Romania no formalized methodology has been proposed to competent authorities to determine the risk level of an industrial establishment. Based on the critical analysis of the risk assessment methods, there have been identified the key elements of the methodological basis of risk assessment for establishments concerned by the requirements of ...

The quantification of the influence exerted on the targets from an establishments concerned by the SEVESO II Directive requirements can be performed through the potential danger resulting by the aggregation of the gravity index and the propagation flow index. Starting from the environment?s specific characteristics, the major accident?s propagation kinetics and the distance between the target and the danger source, the paper has as goal to depict a propagation flow determination method. In this index determination...

The use of bioenergy is gradually increasing, so are the number of different technologies to produce it. Particularly during the last years, new biogas plants had been built across Latvia to ensure more efficient use of farming and other agronomic waste or by-products. The aim of the research is to determine occupational risk factors at biogas plants in Latvia. The research summarises the risk factors of the biogas plant environment, compares the results of observations of biogas plants, performs a survey and an a...

The paper deals with RM/RA CRAMM an original methodology is a comprehensive risk assessment method for crisis management, which consists of identifying, analyzing and assessing risk. Quantitative outcomes serve as the basis to determine the priorities of risk management to prepare preventive measures and response powers and facilities. The methodology is applicable to a wide range of risk types, including natural disasters, technological risks, including risks of natural fires, or crime risks and other risks of a ...

The term and interpretation of "risk" is analyzed in various regulatory documents, particularly in the standard of German automobile manufacturers VDA 6.3 and ISO. In their interpretation was found partial inconsistency. It is shown that the normative document of audit processes should be developed based on the requirements of ISO/IEC, taking into account the industry specifics. For this, it is proposed to separate the concept of " non-conformity of requirements" and "risk" and to identify risks during the audit p...

The article describes the newly diagnosed incidence of the musculoskeletal system in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan (East Kazakhstan region) with the identification of risk levels, mapping, correlation of environmental factors and clinical and laboratory data on osteopenia diagnostics with the Omnisense-7000. A high incidence rate was detected in the Borodulikha district, close to the former Semipalatinsk nuclear test site and in the industrial city of Ridder, the center of the mining and metallurgical ...

Protecting human labors process seeks to eliminate and/or reduce the potential causes of injury and disease in order to achieve full control of risks from hazards associated. With all the technical progress and technology in most industries, and especially in the oil and natural gas, there are failures with casualty and property damage. For this reason, it is indispensable the presence of the special intervention and rescue teams to limit/ liquidation, failure that generates explosive atmosphere and/or toxic and r...

We present the results of the of innovative information technologies within the geographic information management of spatially distributed systems to improve natural risk management in Venezuela. We used the basic provisions of the system analysis, as well as the authors developed a method of complexing geo-data and thematic information. In the article we describe the platform in the form of a distributed application proposed for the organization of the structure and integration of not only the volume of geospatia...

The article presents risk assessment during the surveyor's work. Threats occurring during geodetic measurements in the field were determined. These are various types of measurements carried out for investment purposes, topographic and property boundaries survey, determination of displacements and deformations of structures and engineering structures, etc. It is worth, therefore, that each surveyor should be aware of the dangers that may threaten him during work. Hazards related to geodetic measurements have been i...

We present the results of the use of geo-information management of geographically distributed systems for the comparative assessment of environmental criteria for alternative routes of the Russian section of the Nord Stream ? 2 marine gas pipeline. For the planned anthropogenic impact, we consider the complex of biotic and abiotic parameters of ecosystems allocated in the zones of influence (ZI), using the system analysis as a theoretical basis. In the land part of ZI, we allocate water protection zones and coasta...
